Animal Dingbats Quiz Game KS1

A great little back to school quiz or anytime game encouraging team work, speaking and listening and vocabulary extension.
Examples of pictures/sayings are ‘the hungry caterpillar’ and ‘the cat in the hat’.
What to do
Show the colour page with 28 pictures on.

Children work in pairs or teams to try to work out the common sayings or idioms.
Give them the grid template provided to write their answers on.

Sheet 3 is the answer sheet, although children may come up with plausible alternative answers of their own.

Another way of doing the quiz, is to give the children the answers, but in a mixed up form, and ask them to match them to the pictures.

Children can go on to research any saying they do not know such as ‘pigs might fly’ or the’ elephant in the room’.

This is a good resource too, for English language learners.
